Each year you can earn up to $160.00 in health insurance premium discounts and an additional $100.00 in “Pulse Cash”. Rewards are fulfilled on a quarterly basis in accordance with points earned.
What is “Pulse Cash”?
Pulse cash is an electronic currency that members can access through their Virgin Pulse account and cash in for a gift card of their choice; elect to have it deposited directly into their bank account or can spend in the Virgin Pulse online store.
